I must be getting old. I can look down that street and tell you what kind and what year 99% of those cars are. Today. I can’t tell a Nissan from a Datsun. I know don’t tell me.

Appears to be a typical middle to upper-middle class Southern California neighborhood. And judging by the mountains in the background, it's most likely in the area of La Canada - Flintridge, which are at the base of the San Gabriel Mountain range, not far from Pasadena. (There are other areas where this could be, but I'm just taking an educated guess here.....)

 

Do you think anyone realized what a great time that was? Until now that is.....

 

I doubt that anyone having a personalized dunce cap in his posession would really tell the difference between good and bad times
